The recorded history of Gordons Bay goes back 350 years to when the little nook was explored through various expeditions by the Dutch East India Company as it started venturing inland after having settled into its "Cape of Good Hope"... The DEIC decided to establish a fishing post in the Hottentots - Holland in 1672 and called it Vischers Baaij. It later went through a number of name changes reflecting its fishing allure, including Vischbaai, Visch Hoek and Fish Hoek... The first development came in 1678 when Free Burgers were given leasehold in the Hottentots - Holland. More and more farms were allocated with time, soon little houses began to appear around the bay and by the end of the nineteenth century a little town had been established.
